A Stallion Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, PENN, Feb. 19-
A terrific fight between two thor
oughbred stations occurred yester.
day on th e HaInos stock farm, near
Pemberton, n. j., which is owned
by Richard r. Haines, OF PhiIadol-
phia. Tho two staIiions, Don Og-
den and Aberdeen Knox, the for>
MGR by Kentucky Prince and the
latter by General Knox, were kept
in separate paddocks, although
they never manifested any ill-feel-
ing toward each other. In pleas
ant weather Mr. Haines had been
IN the habit of giving them the run
of the paddocks and yesterday both
of them were out. Shortly after
Mr.. Haines left homo Don Ogden
managed to get his gale open and
then began a furious fight, :he sial-
lions biting and kicking each other
as they trumpeted their war cry.
The next minute the strong fence
was torn down and the two iniuri
ated beasts were at each other,
biting and kicking at a terrible
rate, at the same time giving vent
to the most unearthly noises. The
farm hands We're quickly summon,
ed. and as they approached found
,ne horse lying on the ground and
he other was just getting up. An
examination discovered the fact
hat Dan Ogden had been roughly
handled. There were ugly marks

been torn from his breast. but it is |

Worst Ever Known.
l Blizzard Of Snox and Sand.

LINCOLN, NEB., Feb, 20.-The
damage TO telegraph wires has made
the task Of collecting ihe details cl
the late storm IN Colorado and Yves
tern Nebraska very slow and tedi-
ous. AS the news comes in 1t shows
that the disturbance was the worst
IN the history of the region affected
by it.
The storm ragged in the noun
tains and descended upon the plains.
These had been dry and free of
moisture so long that dust and sand
mingled with the snow in rcsistless
torrents. Neither man nor beast
could stand before the rush. This
compound filled the shallow cuts
level full and effectually bloakaded
the tracks. Fortunately the cuts
are shallow. and the snow pIows
were able to clear them cut. The
roof of the Burlington round house
at Akron was blown off.
West of McCook two men were
picked mp dead and another so b7d,
ly frozen and exhausted that his
life is dIspaired of. Many other
fatalities are expected when reports
come in from territory distant from
the railroads.
AS the trains came in yesterday
and trainmen saw cat
tic in the draws buried TO the ir
heads in the snow. AS hardly a
cow was to be seen elsewhere, it is
evident that many are entirely COW
cred. Most of those will soon per-
sh. In fact all, except the few that
can be found and dug out by the
small force available tor thss pur-
pose will be lost. The losses OF eat
lie will be something appalling.
The storm covered the entire area
IN the east side of the Rocky
Mountains, from the British line to
New Mexico. The eastern edge
apped over into Nebraska 10 North |
Platte and McCook. Eas. of these
POINTS 40 damage was done.
Unless The stories are greatly ex-
ggerated, not less than 25 per cent.

fiped out Tracks are clear now,

ay is apprehcnded. No. 1 On the

The Cemetery Fence.

tits probably due the cemetery
trustees and the superintendent
of the cemetery that we should
explain, that a key 10 the gate
leading into the old graveyard
can be found at Collins s. Mcore's
store at any time, and that it is
the intention, as soon as the
weather becomes pleasant, to
keep the grounds open during
the day.
We are aware Of the fact that
it was deemed necessary to close
the grounds, because they had
become the resort of card play
ers and lewd women but know
ing that with the police regula-
ton that is due the people, it
would be possible 10 break up the
syndicate of card players AMI

not reconcile ourselfto the belief
that The general public should be
shut cut because a few persons
had desecrated the grounds that
are sacred 10 nearly every family
in this city and in the surround
ing country.
We did not in the first instance,
nor do We now, criticize the ac-
ton of the cemetery trustees in
building the fence around the old
graveyard, knowing as we do the
motives that actuated it; but our
protest against it still stands.

A Schooner il Lifted TIN Tie Ts!s,.
Turned Upside Down and Sunk
and all Souls Perish.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, February
20.-Just before dusk this even
ing q fruit schooner, whose name
is unknown, was struck by a
whirlwind on the st. Johns riv-
er, about six miles below this
city, lifted almost wholly out of
the water, twisted half way round
and suddenly capsized. Every
one on board was drowned.
II is known that there We're
FIVE men on the schooner, but
whether there were more or not
is not known. 1t is feared that
there may also have been WON

and children OF the captains to

their husbands.
There were no suggestions Of a
storm. No one noticed the YES
sells name. Suddenly from the
clear blue sky there came a gus,
Of wind. 1t was followed by an
other that seemed 10 have the
force of the fiercest of whirl
winds.
It travelled in a narrow, path
and left a trail Of foamiDg water
behind it. The large schooner
received the full force of The |
wl!irlwind 1t seemed to lift the |
vesse! out of the wafer until the |
bottom of the keel was almost on |
the surface of The water.
The wind twirled her about as
though it was toying with a
straw. And then the doomed
schooner was turned upon her
side, her heavy masts and sails
dragging her down. and she lay
helpless in the water, her keel
upturned.
The whirlwind was so sudden
and unhera;ded that not n man
IN board had time 10 even at
Tempt TO save his life. When the
wind had done its work it disap-
peared as suddenly as it lad
come. The air was very still and

schooner to endeavor, if possible,
